Kenyan Visa for Belgian citizens
A visa is required for Belgian traveling to Kenya in 2020 and beyond. You can apply for a Kenya visa online at this website and do not need to go to the Kenyan Embassy.
What is a Kenya eVisa?
The Kenya eVisa is an electronic travel authorization issued by the Kenyan authorities. This travel authorization is mandatory. Travelers without a valid visa are prohibited from entering Kenya.
The electronic visa is offered for both vacation and business trips. With the Kenya visa, you can only enter once and stay in the country for a maximum of 90 days.

Documents you need to have with you during your trip
To meet the requirements for the Kenya visa, you need to take some documents with you on your trip. You must take this with you in your hand luggage so that it can be shown to immigration or other authorities at any time during your trip. The necessary documents are:
Your passport
You must have the same passport with which you applied for your Kenya visa.
If your passport is not valid or long enough (at least 6 months from your arrival in Kenya) and you need to apply for a new passport, then you must also apply for a new visa.
The return ticket of your flights
You must take the booking confirmation of all your flights (arrival and return flight and possibly domestic flights in Kenya) with you on your trip.
Confirming the booking of your first accommodation
You don’t need a booking confirmation of the entire stay. The airport authorities only need to know which place you are going to stay on your first night. You must print out the booking confirmation for this and take it with you to Kenya.
